Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

[Rebel_Yell]

Here's the reference for LC's wheels: LightCarbon C67DB Disc Brake Road Wheels with Butterfly Weave Rims: BRD28-55C 55mm depth, 28mm width, Tubeless, Clincher, UD black matte.
They're 55mm deep, I had 5.5mm bladed spokes fitted... I like them, and the price/quality ratio compared to the larger wheels is good.
This is my fourth pair from them, and I'm still happy with them. They're not Leighweight or anything else, but they're perfect for my needs.

Thanks for the update on the wheels. They look great on your bike.

Hi, I'm assembling a Force 22 HydroR groupset, but I've hit a snag while installing the front derailleur. How far did you run the cable housing?
I noticed that I can't mount a cable stop at the cable hole under the downtube, so I'm thinking of running the housing all the way to the front derailleur. But it seems like the housing might be rubbing against the derailleur if I do that.
Do you have any advice?

Hi in mine Red22 HydroR  I use the "Sram Cable Stop"

Over the last days I built the bike up bit by bit.
The wheels arrived today so I did a quick dry fit. Overall I have to say the geometry seems to fit me quite well, at least in a static position. With the 90mm stem length, as opposed to 120mm I have on my current bike, it feels quite a bit more relaxed.
This feeling matches what I hoped to get, from comparing the geometry and the measurements with my current ride, which is nice.

I mentioned it before, but I love the way the paintjob came out - the glossy chalk white with the contrast of the matte chamaeleon paint is a dream.

Not sure if I will be able to do a maiden ride this year, but I was able to make fairly good progress in the build so far. Routing the four cables through the handlebars was quite the hassle, especially knowing i would have to do it at least once more after cutting the fork steerer tube to length ...

Rose XLITE 06 style. Love it! Very seksy

Hi there, pleasure to be in this forum! :-)

So, I figured I need a 5th bike and decided to build one myself. :-)

Regarding the LCR017-D frame size:

I am 178 cm tall with an 87 cm inseam.
Would you LightCarbon pros recommend a size 54 or 56?

I ride all my Canyon bikes in a 54 (S), since it suits my neck problems better. But I'm a bit unsure how the LCR017 fits in a size 54.

Any comments are appreciated—and thanks in advance!

Any comments appreciated. And thx in advance

I am 181 and ride 54 and am a bit stretched on a 80 mm stem. So ...

Thanks for the photo. So the "Sram cable stop" is located just below the frame's cable plug, right?
Does the cable stop attach securely to the plug?
The plug I have doesn’t seem to hold the cable stop—it’s either too thick or too thin for the hole in the plug.
So I was wondering if I need to glue in a thinner one with something like epoxy to keep it in place.
(Attached photo is the cable plug. Because I'm not exactly sure if that's the right term for it)

I'm 178 cm tall too and I'm a 54 on the LCD17. I actually hesitated with the 52 but I didn't want a head tube that was too low. My Elves Vanyar has a 120mm head tube. I opted for a 100mm integrated handlebar at the stem (actually measures 110 mm with the angle). The seat setback is 0. The 56 seems disproportionate to me. Generally speaking, it's better to choose smaller and set it up with the stem, seatpost setback, saddle length (245 is not like 275 cm).

I used a Cable housing of 4mm and his cap inserted in the "Sram cable stop",  inserted the cable and tightened the small Allen screw .

Oh, found it. I didn't know another cable stop had come together. Thanks! Eureka!

I have a question regarding sizing for this frame.

I'm 1m90, inseam of 87 cm.

According to the website of Lightcarbon I should get a 56 model (for people who are 187-193cm). The 58 model is for people of 194cm+.

However, when I give in my dimensions in the Canyon website they assign me a Large model. The measurements (especially the reach and stack) are the same as the Lightcarbon 58 model and not the 56 model.

Wendy said I should have a 56 model but I'm not sure based on this. Any experience from someone at my height?

In general, recommendations provided by bike manufacturers on their websites or on-line calculators are (way) off. Usually, they, including Canyon, recommended 1 size larger frame than you should be riding. As a result, people are riding frames that are too big and then complain about neck and back pain, numb hands etc. I strongly suggest getting advice from your local bike fitter - it will pay dividends!!! Based on your data, I would lean towards 56 and choose a longer stem if necessary.

[pandinoyoung]

   but then who are the sizes 58 for? For people who are 2m tall?

I am 181cm tall and have an internal seam of 93cm and I cannot go below 58

This topic goes beyond this thread but I will respond anyway in order to provide some clarity regarding me expressing preference for size 56 in Fndr1's case. You are saying you have disproportionately long legs and therefore require bigger frame? If you have longer legs, than your torso is shorter requiring a shorter reach. When going up the size you are also dealing with longer reach making your bike longer or in many cases too long. The traditional sizing (e.g. 56, 58) refers to length of the seat post which is not the case any longer in a modern geometry of a road bike. A lot of my riding buddies made the same mistake, going for a bigger frame as recommended by manufacturers (and, sadly, local bike shops) and from then on consider buying shorter stems since they cannot reach the hoods without discomfort on longer riders.
